Buying airline miles is a fastly growing tactic from airlines to bring in more revenue. Airlines like Alaska, Amercian, United and Avianca make massive profits every year from people buying miles. Heck even Qantas and Virgin Australia sell miles but at quite poor value and those are quite limited amounts.

Does buying Etihad miles present good value?

As with most programs, it’s always how you use them. 100,000 points isn’t enough Guest points for a First Class redemption from Abu Dhabi to Sydney but you could use those points to upgrade an existing Business Class booking.

Etihad used to have some amazing rates from Brussels, they were only 36,620 miles in Business Class to New York but they now cost 88,000 miles which is a massive increase! for more on this head over to One Mile At a Time.

You can also use Etihad Guest miles for short-haul Australian flights on Virgin Australia as well as hops over to New Zealand, these are some great sweetspots.
